Former model Jonathan Quiñonez lived out all of our dreams when he quit his job and hit the road to travel the world. But, to make sure that his mother wouldn’t worry, he brought a handy sign along with him.

He states on Instagram, “Whatever your age is, if you have a Latin mom and a passion for adventure, you will have to find a way to tell her that you are fine. This is my way.”

Yeah…
But, not all the animals are happy to see Jonathan. That, and why he decided to go on this epic adventure after the jump.

When asked why he decided to make the journey, he told Bored Panda, “I always wanted to do it but every time, I was trying to convince myself that I couldn’t with sentences like, ‘what about your jobs or your car or your cat?’ Etc etc. But these are just pretexts.”

“In the end, when you really want something, you go for it or at least try.”

“It just depends how bad you want it”

And, you always need to make sure your mom knows you’re OK.
